Pottery

Thursday, February 23, 2017

Hey, folks...! Yes, I am still amongst the living...I did not even realize that I had not made one post this year... I mean, I knew it had been a while but sorta shocked to see that. My header photo is out of date and everything...

Spring is basically here as you can tell. An odd year for sure but we have been enjoying the warm weather. What more can you do?

This is going to just be a photo heavy post for now. I'll have more updates and info in a couple of weeks.

Just wanted to let ya'll know I was still around and had not given up completely on the blog. Close...but not completely.

A big thank you to those that emailed me over the winter to check on me...I really appreciate hearing from anyone. I'm not able to get out a lot these days and I enjoy hearing from folks.

Was a tad windy today at times when I took these photos....lol!

A lot of these are of the new girls that are now just about grown and are getting to enjoy their first days out in the yard with the big girls. We've been letting them have the run of the fenced garden since there is not much of anything planted there now but that will change soon. Very soon.

The big, or I should say... older girls, have been enjoying going into the garden too and having baths in the raised beds. That will also end soon. Big Bertha and Ms. Bea both passed away during the winter. I think Bertha's old heart just gave out. She was about 9 years old. She spent a happy day out in the yard like normal and then went into the coop for bed. She just laid down in the floor and died. She and BeaBea were really close, and close in age also, and less than 3 weeks later Ms. Bea just quit eating. She looked healthy as could be but she just quit. I tried various meds and food but she wasn't having it. She just wanted to go on and be with Bertha and Scooter again I guess. I put her in a nesting box one night because I didn't think she would last much longer and she had passed away the next morning when Jack went to let them out. Both of them just seemed to drift off to sleep and not wake up.

The new girls are a rambunctious bunch though~! Into everything and very smart. Took them less than a hour to find the house and basement, along with all the treats..on the first day we let them out into the yard. And, at only 4 months old, one or two of the Red Stars are already laying! None of those little pullet eggs either....they just popped on out the big, real deals!
